Re: 10 of 10 of the best educated states in the US voted for Obama and 9/10 of the worst educated states voted Romney

If you remove the minority populations from the red state's portion of the equation, I wonder what those numbers look like.

The South has some of the largest Black populations in the country. It has a lot to do with it.

If you remove Black and Hispanic test scores from the United States as a whole, the country moves into the top 5 in world rankings. California has some of the worst math and science scores in the country -- while those hillbillies up in Montana are in the top 10.
